Mustangs Rack Up
Two More Hoop Wins
By Larry Mollahan
Anyone who says height isn't
everything in basketball better
think it over. Neil Beamer 6' 4"
giant of the Heppner Mustang's
once beaten quint came out with
17 points to his credit in the Fri
day nifiht win over conuon
29 on the Heppner court.
"Big Beams" took control of the
ball practically every time it
came off the boards for Heppner.
There wasn't any shrimp guard
ing Beamer either, Tom Neel, 6' 1"
rvmrfnn renter accounted for 13
points for the boys on top the
ridge.
The Mustanes. grimly deter
minofi tn retain their league
championship moved into a 11 to
6 lead in the first quarter with
Reamer tipping in three pair
along with a foul shot.
Wnrkin? like a well oiled pre
cision machine Heppner swept
in 10 points in the second quaner
to pull into a 21 to 8 lead. Jerry
llaguewood was in his element
sinking two long netters from the
corner and two charily shots.
The third quarter wasn't a non
conformist either, Beamer set the
ball back in the basket twice and
wiih three tries at the foul line
sank one. Condon showed signs
of coming around, dropping in 12
points to end the period il to m

Pacific Power Co.
Explores Dam Sites
Explanation of two new dam
sites deep In the lower reacnes
of the Snake river canyon, which
are expected to add tou.uuu kiio
watts to the regional power sup
ply, was being readied today by
Paetfln Northwest Power Com
pany as advance crews moved
camp supplies ana arming equip
ment over rugged mountain trail
into the Isolated area.
Immediate objective of the pio
neer oarties was to establish ac
cess roads and set up field camps
in the canyon before midwinter
snows . handicapped trave
through the adjacent high coun
try
To be investigated are the
Mountain Sheep and Pleasant
Valley dam sites, on which Paci
fic Northwest Tower has filed ap
plication for preliminary permits
with the Federal Power commis
sion. The Development com
pany's sponsors are Pacific Power
& Light, Portland General Elec
tric, Washington Water Power
and Montana Power companies,
which together serve 800,000 of
the region's electric consumers.
A 233-foot dam at Mountain
Sheep and a 492-foot dam at
Pleasant Valley would drop water
a total of 530 feet through gener
ators to harness the 850,0000-kil-lowatt
potential of a 55-mile
stretch of the Snake river down
stream from Hells Canyon and
above the Salmon and lmnaha
rivers.
Engineering studies of the sites
will be carried on Jointly by the
Hechtel Corporation and Ebasco
Services, Inc., with construction
cost estimates to be developed by
the Morrison-Kuudsen Company,
It was announced.
Work parties are being moved
in to the camp sites irum nom
Ihe Oregon and Idaho sides of the
river. Because of the rugged na
ture of the country, supplies arc
also expected to be moved in by
boat from Lewiston.
The last act of the blitz showed
Roamor machine-cunning the
twine for another five to be a
triple ace plus two.
Jackrabbits Skinned 50 to 31
It was a big night for Skip

Keith Gray and Larry urove
caged 9 points each to score high
for the Jackrabbits.
Ruhl was just about too much
for Lexington -as he capitalized
on five ball interceptions to hit
the nets on four of them. The
first period ended with Heppner
out in the lead 17 to 9.
Jerry llaguewood put on the
same second period performance
of the previous night caging two

New Spray Treatment Fights C.R.D,
How would you like to treat
C.'H.D. in your flock simply by
pressing a button on a can?
This can now be done, as a re
sult of a new development by
scientists of Merck & Co., Inc.
C.R.D., or chronic respiratory
disease, may affect up to 60
percent of our poultry popula
tion. An outbreak causes re
tarded growth, poor carcass
quality and death. In laying
flocks there can also be a serj
ous drop in egg production.
Thus the disease often inflicts
heavy financial losses on poul
try raisers.
Recently, the Merck research
ers set out to find an improved
treatment for C.R.D. They
found that finely powdered
dihydrostreptomycin sprayed
into the poultry house is
breathed in by the birds and
effectively combats the disease.
The spraying must be done at
night when birds have settled.
The result was the new Merck
product, 'Vetstrep' Spray, a
convenient flock treatment for
C.R.D. By pressing a button
on an aerosol can, the poultry
man releases powdered dihy
drostreptomycin in a white
cloud above the heads of
the birds. One container treats
about 100 birds in only 30 sec
onds, so that a large number
can be sprayed in a short time.
No handling of individual birds
is necessary. '
'Vetstrep' Spray quickly cuts
death losses from C.R.D., gets
birds back on feed and main
tains weight gains and egg pro
duction. This new treatment is
especially effective in the re
spiratory stage of C.R.D., when
birds are sneezing and wheez
ing. One treatment will usually
overcome an outbreak.
'Vetstrep' Spray is available
to poultrymen through feed
and remedy dealers and drug
stores. Its development is an
other example of the partner
ship of science with the man
on the farm.
Ag Report Draws

1955 Fertilizer
Prospects Said Good
Commercial fertilizer prospects
for 1955 are favorable with
slightly larger supplies In sight
and with prices expectea to De
about the same or possibly lower
than in 1954.
T. L. Jackson, Oregon State
college soils specialist, says the
oKtimnted national supply of
nitrogen, phosphate and potash
will exceed the I'jbJ Dt suppiy y
nhout 5 nercent.
Most of the increase in these
three primary plant nutrlgents
win iw in nitmeen fertilizers. Esti
mated production of 2.2 million
itnn of nitrocen will be an in
crease of almost 9 percent over
1 the 1954 supply.
Jackson says proposed expan
sion of urea production promises
to bring another hign-anaiysis
nitrogen fertilizer to Oregon iar
mers at a price competitive with
ammonium sulfate. He bases the
price comparison on cost per
pound of "actual nitrogen,
tirna and ammonium nitrate
mixtures from the base of the
nitrocen fertilizer solutions that
have boomed into popularity In
thP midwest in the past iew
years. The solutions are just now
being introduced to uregon iauu-
ers.
Forecast for available phos
phate in 1955 is 2.35 million tons
ahout the same as 1954. Jack
son explains, however, that the
phosphate industry is geared to
, boost its output rapidly if de
mand warrants.
Orpfnn farmers showed a 5 per
cent increase in total tonnage of
fertilizers used for the year end
ing July 1954. For tne same pei
iod, natural use declined 1.5 per-
nf industry representatives
explain that while national ton
nage was down, use ot nigner
analysis materials brought a
slight Increase in the amount of
plant nutrients returned to the
soil.
Meanwhile the fertilizer in
dustry plans rapid expansion to
meet anticipated requirements
for the next several years. Jack
son says it is estimated that Dy
1957 the United States will have
the capacity to produce some 3.5
million tons of nitrogen, compar
ed to 2 million tons produced in
1954.

LEONARDS RETURN FROM
SOUTHERN TRIP
Mr. and Mrs. Mervin Leonard
have returned from a trip'which
took them throutzh many of the
Southern States and to Nassau in
the Bahamas.
The Leonards went by plane
early in December to Detroit
where they picked up a new car,
driving from there to Atlanta,
Georgia where they again took
the plane for Nassau.
After spending a day or two in
New Orleans on the return trip,
they drove to Los Angeles to visit
with friends over the New Year's
holiday.
o
doubled in the 23 years; irrigated
farm numbers increased by more
than 6,000. On the other hand,
sheep numbers dropped from 2.6
million head to 700,000 head.
Chickens held fairly even; turkey
nnmhprs more than doubled.
Dairy cows are fairly even but
the overall cattle numbers grew
by more than 500,00 head.
Operations of the department
of agriculture have grown along
with the state's agricultural ue
velopments. The report pin points
some information on finances
and personnel for 1931-32 and
1053. 54 This shows the legisia-
tivp annronriation has increased
... , - ,
from $102,850 to $485,800 while
the income from licenses and tees
has grown from $202,248 to 1,
200,686. The department activ
ity was 71.2 percent self-sustain
ing in 1953-54; 66.3 per cent
years ago. The number of em
ployes grew from 79 to 303; the
number of cars operated from
15 to 96; capital outlays from
$1,100 to $9,839;; and salaries and
wages cost six times as much.
The department administers 33
more laws than it did in 1931-32.

When you Test-Drive Ford's new
Triccer-Torque power you're in for a
thrilling surprise. For here is power
that can get you moving in split sec
onds ... and give you safety-last

measured that it takes the rear wheels
as little as 7100 of a second to react
to your touch on the gas pedal. Such
Go-power can come only from engines
which are more than merely new-more
than ordinary V-8 engines. And thats
exactly what these Ford engines are.
They are the result of the most ad
vanced V-8 engineering -a result of
Ford's experience in building more
V-8 engines than all other makers com
bined have ever built!

Ford's 1955 engine news resulted from 23 years9

In 1932 Ford introduced the V-8
engine to the low-price field. And it
was only just recently that other makers
in Ford's field adopted this kind of en-Gine-23
years later. Yet it is interesting
to note that the majority of costlier cars
were offering V-8's some time ago.
Ford's V-8 experience has never paid
off better than this year. Now you can
